Decks Built to Handle Peoria Winters
We build, repair and refinish decks for homeowners across Peoria and the surrounding towns, using footings and framing sized for our frost line, not a warm-climate spec sheet.
A quick look at the deck work we handle most.
A new deck built from the footings up, sized and framed for how you'll actually use it.
Soft boards, wobbly rails or a sagging frame, fixed before it gets worse.
Protect the wood you already have before another winter dries it out.
Multi-level decks, built-in benches, whatever fits your yard and your budget.
Low-maintenance boards that won't splinter or need restaining every two years.
Tighten up wobbly railings or replace them to meet code height.
We build and repair decks for homeowners in and around Peoria, people who want someplace to grill, sit, or let the kids run around without worrying about a board giving out. Most of the calls we get start with a deck that's sagging in the middle, railings that wiggle when you lean on them, or boards that have gone soft and gray. If your deck was built fifteen or twenty years ago out of pressure-treated pine and never resealed, you're probably looking at exactly that. A lot of homeowners patch one board at a time and never get to the actual problem underneath.
We start by checking what's under the deck, not just what you can see standing on it. Ledger boards pull away from the house when they weren't flashed right, and that's where water gets into the rim joist. Footings in this area have to sit below the frost line, usually around 36 to 42 inches down, or the whole deck heaves a little every spring. We set footings to code, bolt and flash the ledger properly, and space boards for drainage so you're not fighting the same rot problem again in five years.

Not on the list? Give us a call anyway. We are often working nearby.
Most of our work comes from someone telling a neighbor about us. Here is why that keeps happening.
We carry the insurance to work on your property, certificates available on request.
We pull permits and build to the codes Peoria inspectors check for.
No leftover screws in the yard, no pile of sawdust by the back door.
You get a price on paper before we touch a board.
The crew that frames your deck is the one that finishes it.
We've set footings in Peoria clay long enough to know how deep to dig.
Had a soft spot by the stairs for two years, turned out the ledger board was barely hanging on. Fixed it in a day, didn't expect that.
They pushed our stain date back a week for rain, a little annoying, but the boards look better for drying out right. Our place over in Morton finally doesn't look gray.
No more splinters for the kids out in East Peoria. Boards are dead flat, you can't even see the screws.
